INSTRUCTION
This concept can be slightly confusing for students so it may take a while
to explain to the class. Explain that when we say we like something in
English it follows a specific pattern.
Example: I like cheese.
In this sentence “I” am the subject. However it is not the same in
Spanish. In Spanish we say cheese pleases me. The subject is now the
word cheese. This means we have to conjugate to like/please to the
subject cheese. Gustar will only be used in two forms generally; Gusta
and Gustan. Why? (Because it can please me or they can please me. The
other forms are not used commonly.
To do this in Spanish you need to think a little backwards. First ask who
is liking (or BEING pleased) You will use an Indirect Object Pronoun
(ME, Te, Le, Nos, Os, Les) Then choose the form of gustar. This will
depend on what is pleasing. If it is singular or an infinitive it will be
gusta. If it is plural than it will require gustan.
It looks something like this:
Indirect Object Pronoun
Me
TE
Le
Nos
Os
Les
A Form of Gustar
Item Liked
Singular Noun
Infinitive
GUSTA
GUSTAN
Plural Noun
Me gusta el libro
Me gustan los libros
Nos gusta comer
Nos gusta la comida
Nos gustan los postres
Explain that there are other verbs that work exactly the same way as
gustar. A few of these are: Encantar, Importar and Interesar. Use a few
examples.
Me interesa el arte
No me interesan los libros
No me importa (ALWAYS A USEFUL ONE)
This particular chapter of the book, is set up as a review and wants
students to write about their daily routine. We will look at the text book to
see how to do the activity we want to do today. On page 10 of the
textbokok there is a review of the movie: El Señor de los Anillos. We will
look at this as a guide for the activity. Students will read the reviews from
teens in Venezuela. They will then chose a movie that they like or don’t
like. Students should have different movies or at least a variety of
reviews. This is the chance for students to show their opinion and use the
language in meaningful content. The purpose of the activity will be to
share their viewpoint.
ACTIVITY

write a review of that movie on the sheet provided them. They can use
dictionaries and other classmates as resources for this activity.
